Speculation as to the Legal Outcome

BoNHAM, September 26.-Tom Beams
estate is still the all absorbing topic of
conversation. 1t was expected that some
rare developments and surprises were In
store for the people, and would be DIS
closed to-day, as it was announced that
two applications for Enthusiastically
would come before the county Judge, one
being w. w. Russell, of this city, an inti-
mate friend of the deceased, and at pres
ent temporary administrator of the
estate, and the other, II. p. Howard, of
San Antonio, one of the claimants
to the immense fortune. Speculation
ran high, some predicting that a will
would be produced in court and stop all
further legal proceedings, but such were
doom I'D to disappointment, for nothing
was done in court except to continue the
proceedings till the November term. Mr..
Saunders, who claims to bs a brother of
hopeful that in the end he will prove
his relation and secure his
portion of the large estate.
On the other hand, great many old and
respected citizens of this county are
equally as sure that the dead mans
name was not Saunders but Bean, as he
was always known. DR.. r. E. Martin,
who has long been an honored citizen of
this city, and who was intimately
acquainted with the deceased-in fact
was his physician that Bean, on
one occasion, informed him that he was
born and partly raised in Washington, d
c., and served under his father some years
as an apprentice in ship-building. This
scrap of his early history seems to BIZ
borne out in the fact that the man who
accompanied him here at an early day
and who claimed him as his father, was g
fine wood-workman, having brought Q
chest of tools with him.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
LAREDO, September 27.-The mayor of
New Laredo received two kilograms to-
day from Mier and Guerrero, two towns
down the river on the Mexican side. They
state that at the former place, Mier, the
river began to rise last Sunday afternoon,
and in less than an hour had
overfowed its banks. About one-third of
the town was flooded, and twenty families
were soon without homes, their houses
being totally destroyed or so damaged as
to be uninhabitsble. Their household ef-
fects and goods, with few exceptions, was
a total loss. The water did not reavh the
business part of the town, and the loss to
merchants Is very light. The rise was caused
by the recent freshet in Mexico, which
washed away about mile of the
track and bridges on the
Mexican National railway. At Guenero,
the Salado river also overtiowed it's banks,
destroying fifty houses. No loss of life is
reported from either place. The bridge
across the Salado was nearly covered with
water, the river coming within one foot Of
the top in the most elevated portion Of
the structure. A force of 800 men are at
work on the bridge, track and telegraph
line of the Mexican National, which was
so fearfully demolished by the recent
storm. Trains will probably be running
by Wednesday. The road has never be-
fore been held up by washouts.

WASHINGTON, September 27.-The presi-
dent has declined to interfere in the case
of Seaborn Kalijah, Creek Indian, con-
victed of murder and sentenced to hang
at Fort Smith, 7th proximo.
The president has granted pardon in
the case of VIM. Brooks, James Fitzger-
aid, Thomas Jackson, VIM. Henderson,
John Palmer, Reuben Gains and George
Herner, who we're convicted in the United
States court for the western district of
Arkansas, last August, of manslaughter,
and whose sentence was suspended. The
pardon was granted on the ground that
the convicts had reason to apprehend
bodily harm from the men whom they
killed.

A NEGRO MURDERER.
The Assassin of Looney in East Texa

The Assassin of Looney in East Texas
Captured, and Confesses
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
NAoooDooHEs, September 26.-The me-
gro who killed j. F. Looney last Friday at
Douglas, in this county, has been cap
tared. His name is Joe Adams, about 80
years old. He went to another young
negro all bloody, soon after the killing,
and told the whole circumstance. His
clothes we're found by citizens the next
day and they were full of blood, and a
white lady, who made the garments, iden-
titled them as belonging to Joe Adams.
He has now confessed all, and gives as an
excuse that ht was robbing Looney's
store early in the night and Looney came
into the store.
Looney, striking light, went behind
the counter for something and stumbled
over the neero's feet while he was in hid
ing under the cornter. The negro saya
that Looney jumped aside and acted like
he was getting pistol from
his pocket. Whereupon the ne
gro, knife in hand, assalled
him, cutting his neck nearly off, and max.
ing several gashes about the face. He
says that he killed him to keep from be-
ing detected. Looney was splendid
citizen. and you may look out for first
class neck cracking in the near future
The negro is now pinned in
Jail here, and the wonder is that
he was ever allowed to get here alive. II
is hoped that the law may have it's course
as we believe that public execution here
would do more good TO stop criminals
than mob violence.

CHICAGO, September 26.- 1t is con-

Buffalo, was the amalgamatlon of the

leader is reported to-day as making the
following statement regarding the situa-
ton: The internationslists, under

The Rain, Mud and Gloom Prevent the
G.. A. r. Parade.
ST. LOUIS, September 27.-All promises
of fair weather for st. Louis to-day were
founded On error, and the rain keeps on,
thoroughly saturating the veterans as
they pour out of the cars, camps and
houses. The clouds that settled over the
city Sunday morning have apparently
come to mix up the mud, and the mois-
ture laden atmosphere crushed out all
hope of parade to-day.
RAIN, MUD AND GLOOM.
The rain, mud and gloom played havoc
with the Grand Army arrangements to-
day, and when the grand parade was
given up the boys had nothing to do but
to hunt up places of amusement. The
exposition consequently was the harbor
of thousands, and Gilmore had prepared
special programme of national airs and
war songs. The veterans came to see the
sights, and they marched about until the
sidewalks and streets we're sogged with
mud. From camp to camp, from hotel
to hotel, the column moved, accompanied
by the drum corps or bands serenading
the
TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP,
and the beat of the drum continually re-
sounded in the corridors of the hotels. An
occasional quartette or glee club would
vary the instrumental music. In the
state headquarters, at the Lindell hotel,
crowds iammed the doors and for hours
the comrades gathered around the famous
manned staff of Governor Rusk.
Registration continued necessarily, but
still not one-quarter of the mon in the

HoUsToN,S N,September 26.--F. A. Reichardt
received telegram this morning from
Governor Ross ordering him to take the
Light Guard to Columbia at once and re-
port to the sheriff of Brazoris. The Or
dering out of this company-is caused by
trouble between the blacks and whites in
the northeast part OF Matagords
county, about thirty miles west
of Columbia, The trouble originated as
follows: A negro constable named Jerry
Messenan undertook to arrest white man
named Nuckols for refusing to work the
road. NuckOls excused himself for a few
minutes, to get ready to accompany the
officer, and when ne reappeared it was
with double-barreled shotgun, which
Euck0is is supposed TO have used with
fatal effect on the negro.
At any rate, the colored constable disap-
peared somewhat my5teriouely, and when
found later it Was with bullet hole
through his head and his body lying at
the mouth of Csney creek. When the
negro clement heard of this, excitement
ran high, and they threatened to hang
Nuckols and another party named Haw-
kins, as suspicion rested on them. The
whites learning the circumstances, soon
organized into an armed body and went
to the rescue. Sheriff Wsdsworth, o.
Martagorda county, sent couriers tt
Sheriff Jones, of Wharton, and Hickey, o.
Brazofia, who left Immediately witt
armed posses for the seat OF war.
Captain Reichardt assembled his com
pany as soon as ne received Governor
Ross message, but owing TO the fact tina
there is only one engine in use on th'
Columbia tap, and that ran of the track
this afternoon, one mile this side o
Columbia. The company will not leave uu
til O'Clock tomorrow morning. Captain
Reichadt received telegram this evenin,
from Deputy ShariG Duff, of Brazoria
saying that collision had occurred ol
\ Caney creek between blacks and whites
resulting in several being wounded.

rain ever known in this county fell yes

lasted several hours, after which the water
in Elm creek, just east of town, rose
higher and more rapidly than was ever
seen by the Oldest inhabitant of the county.
The railroad bridge crossing the same
river was submerged two or three feet
and the damage to tho track was very
great.
One year ago an old man named j. r.
